Back on X after a season away (hence the new profile).

I'm hoping for a much more productive use of this place this time around 😂

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

@JLSteffaniak @Dru_Johnson @codyfloate I sure did 😂

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

This was a treat of an interview! Dru is asking insightful questions that Scripture-loving folks should wrestle with.

[𝐃𝐫𝐮 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @Dru_Johnson]

As always, a true pleasure to get interrogated by @codyfloate and @JLSteffaniak.

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

We shouldn't be surprised when our natural observations cohere with what the Scriptures say about people, creation, etc. The same Lord spoke both books, nature and Scripture, into existence. Give Him glory!

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

The whole Bible, every book, speaks in varied and diverse ways to the Triune God's plan to redeem a people and bring them into a new creation.

Confessionalism has long proven a trusty guardrail for Baptists over the centuries. I hope that the SBC can wield its theological document convictionally and thoughtfully long into the future.

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

Careful confessionalism in the SBC will require a patient discussion on what we all voluntarily choose to theologically align around. Certain sections of the BF&M may need to go if we don't find them useful (i.e. open/closed communion) while others need to be strengthened.

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

And we need a patient love that believes the best while recognizing the work in front of us. We have a long way to go on a number of fronts. But Southern Baptists can certainly walk and chew gum at the same time. I, for one, am hopeful for the future.

The Old Testament doesn't merely prepare the way for Christ. It is in itself a revelation of the way in which the Father through the Son will redeem all things by the Spirit.

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

Systematic theology is ultimately the task of biblical reasoning. It takes the whole scope of biblical revelation and meditates upon the theological unity that's inherent there regarding any number of realities that the Scriptures speak to.

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

Submitted my proposal to @SBLsite 🤞🏻

We shall see if the biblical-theological and cultic significance of wine in Amos 9:13-15 is intriguing enough for a session on meals in the Hebrew Bible 😂

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

The Church does not build God's kingdom. Rather, it testifies, as a signpost, to what God is doing and will ultimately do in the new heavens and earth.

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

This is a fun one 👀👇🏻

Coming soon!

[Cody Floate @cody_floate]

The best of classical theology will always flow naturally from biblical revelation. In all our good work of theological retrieval and contextualization for the modern moment, we mustn't leave the Scriptures behind.
